I'm sure everyone will agree, as frustrating as it may be, that 25 members isn't going to get us too far (at this stage) with commercial radio stations
(yep .. they're usually looking for the bang for buck) and we appreciate that there's a loyal band of followers on the ground trying to make things happen each week
, so Stanley Audio is just another task to be completed. However, here's a few thoughts for discussion to get the 'ball rolling' re: the topic...
1. The 'Forum Members' should at least research the best way to set up an internet radio station at the Club i.e. laptop, internet connection, software, etc
..
2. We could decide to either 'chip-in' to buy the solution for the Club or get the solution sponsored by local business(s), obviously with the approval of the Club;
3. We could invite local students who are currently studying at college or university (preferably in media studies or aspiring to become radio presenters) to run
the home commentaries (max 2 hours) for the members under the supervision of one of the members OR we could get one of the members to run the commentaries for us if the majority decides that is the best way to go;
4. Couple of WIN:WINs
here as I see it - the students (or member) gets real experience in presenting live sports commentaries via internet radio AND the Accy Stanley fans around the country, especially overseas get to experience match day 'live' on the radio (allowing for the fact it's in an amateur format).
I'm sure there are a lot of Accy ex-pats or supports around the world who would be interested in the service if they knew that it existed and if they could find the domain name easily on the net.
Over to you guys ....
